"James at Subtense, is first and foremost an artist that has an incredible knowledge of the 'technical side'. He not only gave me a beautifully designed website but a site that runs smoothly and looks quite simply amazing. Also the whole process of having a new website written was something I was dreading and James turned it around and made it quite enjoyable. He is extremely approachable, nothing is too much trouble and he was the only designer I contacted that wanted to arrange a meeting first to talk through ideas. Very Happy, thanks James."
